Answer: Maximizing microneedling Thanks for writing,I am not convinced that PRP offers anything more than the needling itself. In actuality with a great microneedling nurse and a great pen, that can control depth of needles which we are constantly adjusting based on location, there is bleeding and that’s your blood. Your blood contains all the PRP you will need, we needle this right back into your skin. There is no great evidence that PRP makes a difference, anywhere.For long lasting result, I tell patients, our body likes and needs stress. If I want stronger muscles I stress them at the gym, stronger bones I do the same thing. If you want your kids to have stronger brains they go to school where there are stressed. Stop the stress anywhere and the benefit goes away. Stop going to the gym and see what happens. So the bottom line is you have to stress your skin forever, low grade chronic stress. This pays off down the road in 5, 10, 15 years, you and your skin win. I hope this helpsGood Luck Stephen M. Davis, MD, FACS

Answer: How to maximize the results from microneedling Because microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin which enhance penetration of topical serums and medications, it dramatically increases their effectiveness. Up to 80% of product can penetrate the skin compared to 7 to 10% with normal topical application without microneedling. Human growth factor serums have already been shown to reverse the signs of skin aging and combining them with microneedling significantly increases their effectivenessThere are now much better products to use during micro-needling than PRP because PRP is strongly pro-inflammatory (not good). In my office we do all of our micro-needling treatments using a serum from ProCell Therapies that is specially made for this purpose which contains high concentrations of growth factors derived from human bone marrow stem cells. This has all the advantages of PRP, without the disadvantages.
